yeah, Luke is the way to go. If you're patient the admin UI>>schema browser,
pick a field and hit the "load term info" button. You'll see some
terms and, in light gray
the total number of terms in your index for that replica.

Since this is a text field, the TermsComponent can also help. Basically you can
return the terms from your index that start with some text, so say
return the first 1,000 terms that start with "123" for instance. This isn't very
scientific but it'll be a very quick way to get some evidence that you're
suspicion is correct.
